Tasting notes
Good deep ruby-red. Aromatic nose combines currant, flowers, menthol, mint and fresh herbs (I might have said garrigue Then sweet and lush but suave and not at all exaggerated, with very good tannic support to the red fruit and lavender flavors.

It is hard to find a better value than the outstanding 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (which may even be discounted for under $25 a bottle). This sleeper of the vintage exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color as well as loads of cassis, blackberry, graphite, and cedar notes. Full-bodied, rich, and concentrated with silky tannins and a lush, generous constitution, this beauty is capable of lasting 10-15 years. I know there have been a lot of concerns about the huge Constellation empire running Mondavi, but these remain very impressive wines. Tel. (888) RMONDAVI
